At least, stop_areas are required for underground stations (if footways have not been mapped yet) to link the railway=subway_entrance with the station. Including other elements than station, platform and entrances IMHO is useless and makes the relations unnecessarily confusing. > Remove public_transport=station/train=yes & > public_transport=platform/train=yes from railways. > They are purely duplication of the existing, much used > railway=station/railway=platform respectively.
